Product Description

Dapagliflozin 5 mg & Vildagliptin 50 mg Tablet IP is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, a chronic condition that affects the way the body regulates blood sugar (glucose). This condition primarily results from insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production.

This tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, helps lower blood sugar by promoting the removal of excess glucose through urine.

• Vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion and reduces glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

Uses

• Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to improve blood sugar control

How it works

Dapagliflozin 5 mg & Vildagliptin 50 mg S.R. Tablet IP contains Dapagliflozin (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors), Vildagliptin (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor). Dapagliflozin increases the excretion of glucose via the kidneys, reducing blood sugar levels. Vildagliptin improves insulin secretion and decreases glucagon release in response to meals, helping to regulate blood sugar throughout the day.

Benefits

This combination therapy targets blood sugar control through two complementary mechanisms:

• Dapagliflozin removes excess glucose through urine.

• Vildagliptin enhances the body's natural insulin response to glucose.

Together, they help reduce both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.
